The Story of the Dwellers of Ar-Rass

Allah Almighty revealed: Noah's people, when they
denied the Messengers We drowned them, and We made them as a sign for
mankind. We have prepared a painful torment for the Zalimeen
(polytheists and wrongdoers) Also Ad and Thamud and the dwellers of Ar
Rass and many generations in between. For each of them We put forward
examples (as proofs and lessons etc), and each of them We brought to
utter ruin (because of their disbelief and evil deeds). (Ch 25:37-39 Quran)

Allah the Exalted revealed: Denied before them (these
pagans of Mecca who denied you, O Muhammad) the people of Noah and the
dwellers of Ar Rass, and Thamud and Ad and Pharaoh, and the brethren of
Lot, and the dewellers of the Wood, and the people of Tubba, everyone of
them denied their Messengers so My Threat took effect. (Ch 50:12-14 Quran).

These verses indicate that the dwellers of Ar Rass were
destroyed as they were the other people who refused to believe in the
prophets of Allah

Ibn jarir stated that the dwellers of Ar Rass were the
people of one of Thamud's villages. Allah sent a prophet to them called
Huzlah Ibn Safwan. They denied and killed him, so Allah destroyed them.

Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Al Hassan narrated: "The dwellers
of AR Rass had a well sufficing them and their land. They also had a
just and good-hearted king. When he died, they were much grieved for
him. After four days Satan took his form and said: "I was not deed, but I
kept absent from you to see your reaction." They were very joyful. He
commanded them to set up a curtain between him and them and told them
that he would never die. A great number of them believed him and were
fascinated with and worshiped him. Then Allah sent them a prophet
telling them that it was only Satan who was addressing them from behind
the curtain. He forbade them to worship him and commanded them to
worship only Allah and no partner with Him. In spite of that, they
killed their prophet and threw his body into a well. Therefore Allah
destroyed them and their homes."
